Matthew Poole and continuators on Galatians 6:14

14 But God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ , by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world .

For my part I have no such ends, I have no Ambition to glory in you as my Converts; all that I desire to glory in, is in the Doctrine of the Gospel, and my sufferings for the propagation of it, and my conformity to Christ in suffering for Preaching the Gospel.

By the cross of Christ the World is Crucified to me, and I to it, I care no more for the World then it careth for me; the World despiseth and contemneth me, and the Doctrine of the cross which I Preach and publish in it, and I contemn it, with all its vain pomp and splendor. And this I do through the Cross of Christ, remembring how the World dealt with Christ, and how little he regarded the world, or through the Grace of Christ who hath inabled me to it, for the particle Translated, by whom may be indifferently Translated by whom or by which.
